Upon hearing this, Shawn’s anxiety was relieved by half. Ignoring the cold sweat on his forehead, he quickly motioned to Klein and reprimanded, “Why are you still in a daze? Remove the cuffs for Young Master Clarke immediately!” Klein was unwilling but had no other choice. He had to obey his eldest brother’s orders! He got up reluctantly, walked over to Philip, and took out the key to unlock the cuffs. However, due to nervousness, he did not manage to insert the key into the keyhole even after several attempts. It took a lot of effort before Klein removed the shackles from Philip's wrists. In that instant, the tightly wounded string in his heart also relaxed. Perhaps everything would be over with this. However, to everyone’s surprise, Philip did not stop there. Instead, he rubbed his wrists and said, “Although you just said that you’d give me a satisfactory explanation, I have to remind you that this matter is not going to end like this.” Everyone’s breath was stuck i
Klein also knew he had no other way out. He looked a lot older in an instant. He asked unwillingly, “Shawn, is that really him?” Shawn paused briefly before nodding. “He did that eight years ago. You’ve made the biggest mistake and now you have to bear the consequences.” After that, Shawn turned and left in a seemingly heartless fashion. Klein stood there alone, laughing aloud at himself. Then, he directly jumped out of the window! At the last moment, he stared resentfully at the people who left and shouted, “Philip Clarke, I won’t let you off even if I become a ghost!” Boom! Philip listened to the commotion behind him without stopping. When Shawn walked out of the gate, he naturally heard the movement. A trace of unbearable sadness and helplessness flashed in his eyes. He said to his subordinates, “Bring Third Master Hane back home.” … Philip walked out of the Hane's private house, followed by Vivi and the others. “Aren’t you going to thank me?” Vivi suddenly ask
Martha shuddered and quickly replied, “No, nothing. I’m going to cook.” With that, she ran into the kitchen. Philip frowned but did not say anything. He sat in the living room fiddling with his phone. Martha hid in the kitchen, peeked at Philip furtively, and was relieved to see that he was not suspicious. She took out a small item from her pocket—a tiny earphone. This was something she had bought at the market in the morning. It was a listening device. She was in Philip and Wynn’s bedroom just now where she secretly installed the bug and was about to go downstairs to try it out when she unexpectedly ran into Philip. To keep herself busy for a while, Martha cooked chicken soup. When she was done, she wiped her hands and walked to the living room. “Philip, I’d like to ask you something.” Martha smiled and sat down. Philip nodded without raising his head and said, “What's the matter?” Martha hesitated for a long time before asking cautiously, “Last time, the old-fashi
“Have you found out who’s the boss behind the scenes?” Philip asked. Theo shook his head and said helplessly, “It’s very mysterious. We can’t find anything.” Philip frowned, sat for a few minutes, then got up before saying, “Okay, let’s wait and see.” He patted Theo on the shoulder and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, you’re my man. Whatever you want, I’ll get it for you.” Theo was very excited at his words and nodded respectfully. “Thank you, Mr. Clarke.” After that, Philip put his hands in his trouser pockets and left the directors' office. Back at First Palace. In the living room at this moment, Martha stood on the side with a flattering expression. In front of her, a woman with elegant grace was sitting on the sofa. Giada Wallis. She had turned up at the villa. Vivian stood behind her while the Wallis family’s bodyguards were at the door. Ten minutes ago, Giada came and frightened Martha until she was stuttering. “Madam… Wallis, do you have any instruction
Sister-in-law? Wynn was stunned as she stared at the woman dubiously. Why did she call her sister-in-law? Wynn glanced around before asking tentatively, “Are you talking to me?” The other party smiled gracefully and said, “My name is Hannah Clarke.” Hannah Clarke?! Wynn was dumbfounded! Her eyes widened as she stared at the woman in front of her in disbelief. The more she looked, the more she thought this woman before her looked similar to Philip. “You... Are you really Hannah Clarke?” Wynn’s breathing became rapid. Sher covered her small mouth and blinked her big eyes. She was very excited! Philip's younger sister was also her sister-in-law? Did Philip not say she was dead? In that case, why was she standing in front of her and talking to her now? Wynn could not understand this and her mind went blank for a moment. When she recovered, the other party had already sat down, ordered a cup of coffee, and was smiling faintly as she said, “You must have a lot of qu
That was obviously impossible. Giada had been keeping a close eye on him after all. Yvette frowned and thought for a moment before replying, “I can't help you with this but maybe someone else can. I'll go back and find out for you.” Philip did not hold much hope either. He learned from George that forces like the Hull Organization were based overseas and had a complex background. The two chatted for a bit more before going their separate ways. This was a chance meeting after all. At this moment, however, a pickup truck full of people suddenly stopped in front of them! Their intentions were hostile! Philip raised his eyebrows. Was this an after-dinner entertainment? It seemed like they were here to pick a fight. With that thought, he stood in front of Yvette. Looking at the familiar back in front of her, Yvette's eyes flashed with surprise. The images of the previous incident also surfaced in her mind. At the same time, the passenger door of the pickup truck was open
“Revenge? Of course, but there’s no hurry. He hurt my boys, so he definitely can’t escape, or else, I can’t live up to my name of Ollie from North Street.” The brawny man had this planned out very well. He noticed that this was a remote place with not many people around. The other party only consisted of one man and one woman, so he was not afraid at all! However, when the brawny man was about to make a move, his eyes saw Yvette who was standing behind Philip. He was instantly shocked to the heavens and felt that his eyes were blinded at that sight! Too damn gorgeous! She was the best-looking woman he had ever seen! Ollie was the boss of North Street with 40 or 50 men under him. He could be considered someone with a bit of status. However, even he had never seen a beautiful woman like Yvette, especially one with the kind of domineering temperament! “Boss, are we making a move?” the guy on crutches asked. Gulp! Ollie swallowed a mouthful of drool, his eyes gleaming as
Today, Ollie brought his men to seek justice for him. If they backed down at this time, he would be embarrassed! Moreover, he believed from the bottom of his heart that the gun in the opponent's hand was a fake! How could anyone pull out a real gun in this society? However, as soon as the guy's voice fell, a deafening gunshot exploded in his ears! He watched with his own two eyes as the man shot at him with his gun. In a split second, he wetted his pants! At his age, he had never heard the sound of a real gunshot, let alone the sound of bullets passing his ears. It was so terrifying! For a moment, the guy on crutches became weak in his legs and could no longer stand. He staggered and fell to the ground while peeing his pants at the same time! The guy slumped on the ground and only came back to his senses after a few seconds. He started to shout and wave his arms hysterically! Realizing that the weapon was real, Ollie could no longer stay calm and quickly shouted, “Run!”
With food and drinks and people willing to serve him unconditionally, Tom led a good life. Tom had always been the servant, not the other way around. He was quickly lost in this pleasure. While Tom was basking in happiness, a group of merfolk arrived quietly. They sneaked up to the shore and came to this small fishing village. “If I'm not mistaken, Tom should be inside. Let's go and catch him!” Everyone rushed forward with their teeth and claws bared. Although they did not know Tom’s exact location, it was no big deal. They just had to kill everyone and Tom would appear eventually. The merfolk quickly rushed into the houses and killed all the sleeping fishermen. Tom jolted awake when he sensed that disgusting presence. Tom saw the little girl lying on the side. She fell asleep while taking care of him. “Little girl, wake up!” Tom urged the little girl and pushed her awake. The little girl rubbed her eyes sleepily and looked at Tom curiously. “Mighty God, do you
“That’s my lady’s call. I heard my lady’s call!” Tom looked around in a panic, trying to find the source of the voice. However, he could not hear the sound clearly. Due to his injuries, he could not contact his lady through normal means. Although he could sense the lady's signal, it was a fool’s errand to find her. “Do you have anything that can help me restore energy? Such as energy stones or something similar. Hurry up and find some for me. After I recover, I won’t forget your reward!” Tom said condescendingly. He could only rely on empty promises to quickly restore his strength. The fishermen went through their belongings to help the god. The little girl who took care of Tom timidly took out some energy stones from the cabinet. It was her dowry prepared by the family. Fishermen were not rich so they had to prepare dowry in advance. These energy stones were the only savings in the little girl's family. “Mighty God, see if this thing can help you. Feel free to us
“Why am I here? Where is my lady?” Although his superficial injuries had recovered, his various internal injuries would take some time. However, he could deal with these unarmed ordinary fishermen easily with his strength. At this time, a delicate little girl walked in with some food and was very excited to see him awake. “Mom, Dad, the person we rescued is awake. Come and see him!” The little girl put down the tray excitedly and ran out, telling everyone the good news. Hearing that, everyone rushed over excitedly to see the mysterious man. The man was very burly, with muscles and glittering scales all over his body. The fishermen had never seen such a person so they worshiped him as a god. “Young man, are you a god? Only gods have a body like yours!” “Why did you pass out outside? It’s not safe out there. You have to be careful!” Everyone expressed concern over his well-being and handed him some clothes that they made in a hurry for him. Tom frowned unhappily a
Seeing Rabbit’s confidence, however, Philip said nothing. Meanwhile, Marina was resting in the room. Since she had reached an agreement with Philip, Marina recuperated in the room without finding fault with others. Philip knew that Marina was seriously injured but he would not help her without anything in return. After all, he did not form a soul contract with Marina, and she was a force to be reckoned with. Who knew if she would do something to him once she recovered? At this moment, Marina was planning her next move in the room. “That guy named Philip is more than meets the eye. I can't take any advantage of him.” Marina frowned unhappily as she pondered. As a mermaid princess, Marina had always enjoyed noble treatment, and no one dared to do anything to her. However, Philip was quite interesting. Not only could he read her thoughts but also control her emotions, which was terrifying. So, although Marina was curious about Philip, she was more wary of him. “It’d be
“I haven't forgotten my promise. Once we reach the world of the gods, I’ll fulfill my promise to you and make you a queen in no time.” The old man smiled and stroked his beard, which looked quite obnoxious because he had very little beard left. “You can take my word for it. You’ll have a bright future as long as you follow Upper God Quinn!” The other party painted a pretty picture for Sienna as if he had a good grasp of her thoughts. At this time, Mason walked out of the room to ask Sienna about the pills. Unexpectedly, he overheard this conversation. He was surprised and could not believe his ears. “My queen, is this old man an almighty god from another world?” Mason did not hide his presence because he knew Sienna would discover him. In that case, it was better to step forward and maybe Sienna would involve him in her secrets. Sienna was so immersed in her own world that she did not notice Mason's arrival. Sienna was startled by Mason’s sudden interruption. “W
When Sienna was still a young and innocent girl back then, she was very excited to share an amazing pill she found with her husband, but he tricked her and stole it from her. When Sienna realized that her husband had eaten the pill, she sealed the pill’s medicinal properties with powerful means so it was useless even though he had taken the pill. Therefore, when Sienna saw the snake’s body earlier, she knew that the pill’s medicinal properties were still intact without being consumed yet. It was a blessing in disguise, and her hard work paid off. “Hehe, Philip actually thought I was a devoted lover. He has no idea how important this corpse is to me. Speaking of which, I have to thank that fool.” Sienna’s initial plan was to recover her strength with the Binary Herb, but getting this corpse produced the same effect, so Sienna was very excited. Sienna laughed wildly as she felt her strength recovering rapidly. Mason huddled in the corner quietly for fear that Sienna would e
Seeing the snake carcass, Sienna was dumbfounded. She could not believe that she would see her husband's corpse here. “What's going on? How did things turn out this way?” Sienna was very agitated and grabbed Philip in disbelief. “Where did you see him? Why was he cut in half? What's going on? Tell me!” Philip was surprised by Sienna’s emotional outburst. “I thought you were looking for the Binary Herb to save your husband,” Philip said with a smile. He did not sympathize with Sienna. Both snakes were up to no good. Even if they had a good relationship, they lived in vain. “I knew that someone locked him up but I didn’t know it was in that mysterious sea. I’d have saved him in person if I’d known about it!” Sienna said mournfully. Philip looked at Sienna doubtfully. He felt that her behavior was not normal. She must be up to no good. “So, what do you want to do now? Aren't you here to find the Binary Herb?” Aslan suddenly appeared and scoffed. He did not have a good im
Yule knew he was not worthy to get involved in this matter but he wanted a share of the pie. He was uncomfortable with this uneasiness. “You need to improve your strength and stop being so cowardly. Although I don't know what it takes to enter that world, your current level is obviously not going to cut it. Improving yourself is a means of protecting yourself.” Philip did not put it so explicitly because he had a good impression of Yule. If Yule could improve himself, Philip did not mind taking him along. Lyle and the others had no worries. As Philip's subordinates, they had the right to follow him. Philip was surprised by this unexpected gain and could not wait to deal with the snake monster now. Since Sienna tried every means to find the Binary Herb, she must have a way to recover her strength. Otherwise, she could not use the herb even if she got it. At this time, Mason returned in a miserable state. He never dreamed that Philip could defeat him so easily. Philip was
“By the way, my name is Marina. You can call me Her Highness Princess Mermaid.” Philip did not take the mermaid’s introduction seriously. He was not a lapdog and would not call her by her title. Calling her by name was good enough for her. “If I help you open the portal to the world of the gods, what can I get out of it? As a businessman, I value profit very much. I don't mind helping you if I can profit from it,” Philip said with a smile. Philip knew that he picked up the key to the world of the gods earlier. In that case, he had to take this negotiation seriously and get as much as he could from Marina. Marina's eyes widened upon hearing this, surprised that Philip found the key to the world of the gods. “Did you find the key after going to the lifeless sea?” Marina's hands trembled with excitement. Philip nodded calmly and took out a blue stone from his pocket to prove his words. Nothing was better proof than the stone. Marina was ecstatic. “That’s great. Since you f
